The Assam government said it will provide legal aid to needy people whose names do not figure in the NRC list. Besides the government, the state's ruling BJP and opposition Congress have also come forward to help the needy ones left out of NRC.

After its rout in the 2019 Lok sabha election and then Rahul Gandhi’s resignation, the Congress has slipped into a deep coma. It will take nothing short of shock therapy for the party to emerge from this stupor.

The AGP's exit, in any case, does not pose any immediate danger to the BJP government in Assam. At best, it will only help add to the perception that the ruling party at the Centre is losing allies ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.
